Big fuckin fan. If it was canonized that the armor ability was lost with Eraqus, I’d be fine. But I think Sora, Riku, and Kairi would look bad as hell in armor. Have Riku pimping around Quadratum with a badass pauldron. Kairi has a petite bracer or armlet. Be sick as hell.
We've seen a bunch already.
Terra, Aqua, and Ven's in KH2 and BbS.
Xehanort's original armor in KH2, BbSFM, and KHDR.
Eraqus's armor in BbSFM and KHDR.
Xehanort's goat armor in KH3.
We saw five different armors for Player in KHUX.
Hermod, Bragi, Vor, and Urd's armors in KHDR.
That's 15 armors.
It’s mainly the Wayfinder Trio armors I want to see more of. Last time they used it, it got destroyed. I want to see them used more often in the story.
And all the Armors you mentioned had limited focus. They either get one boss fight, or one story cutscene. The Black Coat meanwhile gets so much more attention than that.
>It’s mainly the Wayfinder Trio armors I want to see more of. Last time they used it, it got destroyed.
Last we saw, they entered the realm of darkness. They weren't destroyed.
Nah, just a contrarian. They know so much about Kingdom Hearts that their brain is in a superposition of both agreeing and disagreeing with every opinion on this sub.
I say this all in good fun, I like reading ZeroSora’s comments— but they do have the superhuman ability to argue with literally anyone about anything KH related and always win lol
>I say this all in good fun, I like reading ZeroSora’s comments— but they do have the superhuman ability to argue with literally anyone about anything KH related and always win lol
Not this time lol. All the OP said is that they wish to see more of the Armors in the new Arc, and they made a good point that the Armor is underutilized when compared to the Black Coat.
Terra's goes hard af, but that's just because it's the Lingering Will.
Aqua's is alright, and I'm neutral on Ven's.
I loved Xehanort/Xemnas's armor, so I was sad he switched it out with the weird goat armor in KH3.
I really think there's no reason they can't make KH2FM's Lingering Will's entire moveset usable in a playable character, that's how profound yet simple Core KH's combat system is. They just need to be creative about it, and KH2 itself presents the possibility.
Remember Upper Slash? Horizontal Slash? Or Finishing Leap? Slapshot? Not nearly enough people appreciate it, but some aspects of KH2's combat were essentially a simplified form of Street Fighter's combo system similar to how Dynasty Warriors does their weapon movesets. The problem with adding too many Special Attacks in an Action RPG is that the interface starts getting clunky, and of course there's the element of spamming. It's mostly a matter of convenience and balance.
**Terra:** Um, Aqua. Why is our son mostly blue?
**Aqua:** Terra you silly goose, he has your colors too, red and yellow.
**Ventus:** can you two please stop that…
I do like the keyblade armors, messing with the colors is fun in the arena. I find the phrasing "so far" to be funny since they were introduced over a decade ago and really rarely used since.
Love the armors! I also love the desperation that you feel when they’re fighting without a helmet. I don’t know why I feel it conveys that though. Maybe something from power rangers that is stuck in my head.
Honestly?
I’m kinda indifferent on them.
The armor doesn’t feel like it belongs in Final Fantasy, as they feel more like mobile suits or mechs than suits of armor. The metal bodysuit gives pure robot vibes, rather than a serviceable bit of kit.
The armor doesn’t feel like it belongs in Disney either, as there really isn’t anything equitable to it in the massive catalogue that Disney has produced over the decades.
It’s like an attempt to add some fantasy flair to the Tron bodysuits, and it just doesn’t quite work for me.
Additional thought: I’d enjoy them a *lot* more if there was some manner of identity for them, beyond the color scheme and minor details like the helmet shape.
Terra is modeled around a Samurai. Why not make his armor embody that FF Job just a bit more? Aqua is stylistically a Dancer, Ventus the archetypal Thief.
As it stands, there really isn’t a whole lot going for them that really says “This is who this is” at a glance.
Ever thought it could just be KH instead of assigning it to FF or Disney? Lol
Because I feel like the KH designs already inherently feel too FF to be Disney and too Disney to be FF at the same time, and the BBS/KHUx/DR Armor are all designed to fit in the KH original worlds they originate from anyway but to the point that it’s like its KH DNA mutated it in a way that looks *too* KH to be FF+Disney anymore, it has it’s own identity after all
Nomura very explicitly said he made up the armor to create mystery about the 3 characters in the secret ending
I think it looks very khish, kinda similar to some enemies aesthetically
Not a fan either
I wish we got the capes in BBS lol I'd be down to see more of them though. Because of the nature of their enchanted clothes idk if Sora, Riku and Kairi need them but it'd be kinda cool to see, at least for a battle or two lol maybe for a side quest or superboss
They exist, but imo…
1, they should add more variety
2, they’re not quite as well at showing (at least Aqua’s) status as, for example, Monster Hunter armor
They never did it for me. I just think they look boring and bland. If they never came back it would not bother me at all. But as I read other comments I can see I am one of the very few who thinks this way.
entirely underutilized because the all the people who knew of it were either an enemy or around for one game
i have hope that these lost arts will again be prevalent due to theres being three lights with this knowledge
also this would be kinda necessary seeing as sora doesnt have the gummyship right now and i doubt donus and gooferd will find him at the beginning of the game
The keyblade armors are awesome! I think it would be a really cool moment to see Sora fighting against someone and then he accidentally breaks out his own keyblade armor
IMO the armors weren't used by the new KB-wielders for a reason, I love the design but I believe sora and the gang wasn't taught to summon them because they're out dated and their "clothes" provide better protection from darkness than the armors can,
They're a cool idea that should of been used better I can imagine them being used similar to the coat by the keyblade wielders though I wish their designs were more unique between users maybe Kairi will use it in 4 after being taught it by Aqua but imagining Kairi being allowed to do something cool is wishful thinking
I think they’re really cool and very under-utilized in my opinion. I wish we got to see more of them but maybe Nomura kinda got sick of them after BBS.
They are definitely cool. Btw does anyone else think Xion's more "Lesser Nobody-looking" form (during the final boss fights in Days) looks kinda like a keyblade armor?
I'd hope they give Sora, Kairi, and Riku their own armor, but I get the feeling that Nomura is kinda done with them. They don't even have a true function in the gameplay, and I'd be hard pressed to think he'll just come up with one at this stage.
I wish they would have further integration into the series by now. For the most part it's been a BBS and before characters exclusive and I'd hate for it to stop there. I want to see every wielder at least have the opportunity for their own armor.
They look cool but seem kind of useless to be honest. Doesn’t seem to really increase the character’s combat capabilities or improve them. Hell, Sora’s clothes in 2 were more useful since they allowed Sora to form change.
Kind of wish they were a “form” or armament that TAV could use to get some added attributes (like Terra has permanent super armor and no cool down for attack commands, Ventus’ attacks all become really fast and have added stun, Aqua gets same as Terra but for magic).
over designed, overall they don't really fit in. They look cool but they dont look like part of the KH world. I am glad the new clothes and the black robes just serve the same "ward of darkness" function
See, I get that ‘blah blah blah magic clothes, blah blah blah obsolete, blah blah’ bitch it looks cool
It just fucking looks sick, so I want it back
Also Nomura draws awesome armour and clearly enjoys it, so I want more
I absolutely love the armor concept, and the Sentai transformation activations they do.
Leading up to kh3 I was still hoping that sora and riku would get armors too
I'd love to see the armor make an appearance in a mainline Kingdom Hearts title. Maybe as a form change/ drive form, or whatever transformation mechanic they have in the next game.
Like imagine starting battle with armor then doing like an armor break ability when you bust out of it and all the pieces of the armor fly off you doing like an AOE stun or knock up. Firaga armor break, blizzard armor break etc.
There's not nearly enough of it.
Get my boys Sora and Riku their own Keyblade Armor. Kairi too. Let us use it IN COMBAT as opposed to just being a special event thing. Have that be the replacement for drive forms.
It doesn’t make sense that the art was lost with Eraqus because Ven Aqua and Terra all still have their Pauldron/armlet thingie/arm guard which means they’re still capable of using Keyblade armor (maybe not aqua or Terra because I think they lost their original keyblades so I don’t know if that prevents them from using Keyblade Armor) but ven still has his. So they should be able to teach the art to other wielders, also Yensid was a Keyblade wielder, did he never learn the art? Xehanort still knew how, and what about Master Of Masters or Luxu? Do they not use it?
Could be more key-related.
Opening and closing hearts to light or darkness hasn't been expanded on enough, at this rate they could just have regular swords.
I'll be honest, it felt like a whole different style when I went from KH1, KH2, 3D, and Days to Birth By Sleep. At first, I didn't like how it didn't feel like it belonged in the style of Kingdom Hearts, not to mention the lore implications of what a Keyblade can do, but the more I played, the more I liked them. I still think they're a bit out of place, but I still dig them.
Side rant. I still don't like Keyblade armors for the aforementioned implications. Especially after playing KH3, it seems like the term Keyblade has become optional, which I don't like. Now, you get into Babe's Command Styles, namely Bladecharge, it feels like a Keyblade power. The manifestation of the powerful bond between Keyblade and wielder. But seeing what Lingering Will and Sora can do with a Keyblade, it really feels like a soft magic system; which for narrative purposes is well done, but I prefer a Keyblade to stay a Keyblade and show its power through the many other ways they've shown it through the series; from sealing worlds to sealing hearts, to altering the wielder's form to reflect different abilities.
I like the idea, but I wonder where they come from, personal head canon says keyblade are made from the bits of people’s hearts and take on special characteristics like how axels blade was a evolved form of his beyblades. Key blade armor seems to be tied to specific blades being the trios default considering they transform into vehicles with thwm
I think they're awesome. I especially like Xehanort's armor and all the Keyblade transformations he uses with it in the No Heart boss fight.
Though, I will say that I've never been one to think that *every* Keyblade wielder needs one. I think it's cool that in KH3, the Destiny trio (plus Mickey and Axel) have dripped out, darkness resistant clothes to serve a similar purpose.
So much cooler than the hoods.
It helps to give a feeling of pain/hurt and distruction.
I love to the it falling apart meaning they took a few realy hard, killing hits but the armor took it.
If anybody else got hit it feels like „jep a hit.“
They are really sick.
I just wise they were used more by main Characters outside of BBS and mobile games you cannot play anymore.
Aka My way of saying Give Xion her Armour Back.
Theire Awesome i know the Stylish Clothes are supposed to be a Upgrade of them but i think they should get more significance in the Future again maiby in a Upgraded Form but i personally think (even if it sounds kinda crazy but its KH after all so who knows really)
The next Step is Mech Battles especially with the Introduction of the GIGAS
I like them, but I do think they could be better, add a bit more variation between the three sets, having Tera’s be heavier and more bulky sort of a paladin vibe, aquas I’m not sure about what could be added maybe a coat or something less armour more fabric, as for Ven’s maybe a more natural look, an undersuit similar to vanitas with different colour and design with armour on one arm, If I was better at art id have a crack at designing them but anyway sorry for long rant.
I understand that Yensids magic imbued clothes are superior, but I still felt like it was a waste of opportunity that Sora and Riku didn't get armor for the final battle against Xehanort.
Honestly......I don't like em. I never did even as a kid. I thought they were ugly AF back then and still do till this very day. Don't get me wrong, the concept and the flying boards r cool to me but the designs themselves r terrible. (Then again I'm not a fan of mecca and I'm no longer a power rangers fan so......)
I just thought of something I bet nobody has imagined yet: Namines key blade armor (if she retained Kairi's newfound ability to wield a key blade) it would be a white, yellow, or platinum color armor, full of elegance
They're kind of pointless now, so i dont think they will come back outside of the BBS trio and past characters. They only protect you from darkness, which the org coats and the gangs' magic clothes already do.
Severely underutilized in BBS. No one ever wore it for some reason... especially in the big, climactic battles. I'm still shocked they didn't have the armor activate as your drive form, or whatever BBS had.
I'm a sucker for Power Armors/Mecha-adjacent stuff so yes, I love them a lot.
As long as they keep it exclusive to the Wayfinder trio in the mainline games, the better. Giving the Destiny and Seasalt (I know Xion has hers) trio armors just loses their unique aesthetic and oversaturate it.
Also, give them an upgrade other than just the gliders, like a pilotable mech. (Or heck, go full Tokusatsu with the weapons like what they did to Lingering Will!)
Great as lingering will though i think i'd be ok if the Art of Keyblade armor stayed with the wayfinders.
They are great for an epic battle but if everyone got armor it would feel rather generic, especially since many of them look similar with different colors.
It’s probably not making a comeback. KH has this thing where the grand plot works, but this little elements are specific to each game. No reason to go back to go back to End of The World, no reason to have more Data worlds, no reason to have more Keyblade Armor
I just wanna make sure I'm not the only one. Terra, Aqua, and Ventus all used armor. With that said, why does Sora and Riku go through most of the series without armor at all. They fought so many strong villains without any armor, just casual street wear. I'm just so confused
Still confused why Sora (or Mickey and Riku for that matter) doesn’t have one. It’s obviously not something only masters can do. Feels like the idea was scrapped for some reason. Did any of the Wayfinder Trio even use them in 3?
Also still disappointed we didn’t get to see Eraqus’s. Was hoping it’d be some dope samurai set.
Big fuckin fan. If it was canonized that the armor ability was lost with Eraqus, I’d be fine. But I think Sora, Riku, and Kairi would look bad as hell in armor. Have Riku pimping around Quadratum with a badass pauldron. Kairi has a petite bracer or armlet. Be sick as hell.
Give them kids some goddang capes!
a certain someone would like a word with you about capes
Incredibles in kh4? 👀
If that happens, Sora specifically needs to have a cape that gets discarded "I thought they were cool..." "No! You vill die, sweetey."
Kairi, be cool and not the Damsel? what do you think you’re doing??
I hope we see more of them in the new Arc. We get so much focus on the Black Coats, and not much on the Armors.
We've seen a bunch already. Terra, Aqua, and Ven's in KH2 and BbS. Xehanort's original armor in KH2, BbSFM, and KHDR. Eraqus's armor in BbSFM and KHDR. Xehanort's goat armor in KH3. We saw five different armors for Player in KHUX. Hermod, Bragi, Vor, and Urd's armors in KHDR. That's 15 armors.
I feel like the mobile games only half count here lol it doesn't hit the same as 2D sprite things.
I mean, doesn't change the fact that they exist.
Plus, Xion's Nobody form that looks like Sora
It’s mainly the Wayfinder Trio armors I want to see more of. Last time they used it, it got destroyed. I want to see them used more often in the story. And all the Armors you mentioned had limited focus. They either get one boss fight, or one story cutscene. The Black Coat meanwhile gets so much more attention than that.
>It’s mainly the Wayfinder Trio armors I want to see more of. Last time they used it, it got destroyed. Last we saw, they entered the realm of darkness. They weren't destroyed.
What I mean is, they are underutilized. They only used it once in the story against Xehanort, and then once during the ending of KH3.
Bro is an armour hater
Nah, just a contrarian. They know so much about Kingdom Hearts that their brain is in a superposition of both agreeing and disagreeing with every opinion on this sub. I say this all in good fun, I like reading ZeroSora’s comments— but they do have the superhuman ability to argue with literally anyone about anything KH related and always win lol

Do any Kingdom Hearts fans ever truly “win?”
Bad argument, that’s still only 5 characters in total. And no the mobile games don’t count
Terra's goes hard af, but that's just because it's the Lingering Will. Aqua's is alright, and I'm neutral on Ven's. I loved Xehanort/Xemnas's armor, so I was sad he switched it out with the weird goat armor in KH3.
my exact feelings too — doing the Xemnas/Xehanort armor would’ve been an incredible call back for a game that was basically centered around callbacks
I really think there's no reason they can't make KH2FM's Lingering Will's entire moveset usable in a playable character, that's how profound yet simple Core KH's combat system is. They just need to be creative about it, and KH2 itself presents the possibility. Remember Upper Slash? Horizontal Slash? Or Finishing Leap? Slapshot?

It's mostly a matter of convenience and balance.
Well said
I get some weird kind of PTSD and amazement everytime I see Terra’s armor. It’s by far the most iconic armor for good reason. Love it
For real. I have my issues with KH3 but for me the single biggest mistake was not making Armored Xehanort the final boss
He kinds is though... like Remind exists. Storywise Armoured Xehanort is the final boss, unless you count Yozora.
I still remember seeing the armors for the first time in the end cutscene of KH2 and my first initial reaction being "IS THAT FUCKING BATMAN!?"
I said the same thing! Then I saw the Arkham Knight armor and thought IS THAT TERRA?! 😂
**Terra:** Um, Aqua. Why is our son mostly blue? **Aqua:** Terra you silly goose, he has your colors too, red and yellow. **Ventus:** can you two please stop that…
The only bad things about the keyblade armors is that we couldn’t use them whenever, and that they only show up on the BBS trio.
You could use them whenever in UX. Dark Road is only in cutscenes however.
I do like the keyblade armors, messing with the colors is fun in the arena. I find the phrasing "so far" to be funny since they were introduced over a decade ago and really rarely used since.
Hopefully Sora eventually gets his own set.
very indifferent to be honest. idk why, i guess i just like the characters designs underneath the armor WAY more
Same with me.
Love the armors! I also love the desperation that you feel when they’re fighting without a helmet. I don’t know why I feel it conveys that though. Maybe something from power rangers that is stuck in my head.
Honestly? I’m kinda indifferent on them. The armor doesn’t feel like it belongs in Final Fantasy, as they feel more like mobile suits or mechs than suits of armor. The metal bodysuit gives pure robot vibes, rather than a serviceable bit of kit. The armor doesn’t feel like it belongs in Disney either, as there really isn’t anything equitable to it in the massive catalogue that Disney has produced over the decades. It’s like an attempt to add some fantasy flair to the Tron bodysuits, and it just doesn’t quite work for me.
I’m getting “Ratchet and Clank” space armor vibes from them.
They are space armor tbf.
Additional thought: I’d enjoy them a *lot* more if there was some manner of identity for them, beyond the color scheme and minor details like the helmet shape. Terra is modeled around a Samurai. Why not make his armor embody that FF Job just a bit more? Aqua is stylistically a Dancer, Ventus the archetypal Thief. As it stands, there really isn’t a whole lot going for them that really says “This is who this is” at a glance.
I mean there’s castles, magic, & keys for swords. so with that on the table, it makes sense to have medieval styled armor
Really insightful comments on Aqua and Ven being modelled after Dancer and Thief, I can see it now!
What's going for it, is Kamen Rider in my Kingdom Hearts game
I wholeheartedly agree with this since I have similar thoughts on the matter.
Ever thought it could just be KH instead of assigning it to FF or Disney? Lol Because I feel like the KH designs already inherently feel too FF to be Disney and too Disney to be FF at the same time, and the BBS/KHUx/DR Armor are all designed to fit in the KH original worlds they originate from anyway but to the point that it’s like its KH DNA mutated it in a way that looks *too* KH to be FF+Disney anymore, it has it’s own identity after all
Nomura very explicitly said he made up the armor to create mystery about the 3 characters in the secret ending I think it looks very khish, kinda similar to some enemies aesthetically Not a fan either
I need more of it for other characters, even if it is for a flashback I want to see more designs
They peaked in the KH2 secret ending with the capes and the battle damage looking sick as fuck.
They need to come back.
The fact that only 5 exist that we have seen, I think they are sorely underutilized.
Terra, Aqua, Ventus, Xehanort OG, Xehanort Goat, Eraqus, Hermod, Bragi, Urd, Vor, Player (5 different Union armor)
(And xion)
Who? /s
I’m talking more about armors in the console games not the mobile games. I didn’t even know there was mobile game armor characters.
I'd hardly say being used on chibi sprites in a mobile game counts.
What about the other ten?
Ned it in my veins. I want sora, kairi, and riku to have their own.
I wish we got the capes in BBS lol I'd be down to see more of them though. Because of the nature of their enchanted clothes idk if Sora, Riku and Kairi need them but it'd be kinda cool to see, at least for a battle or two lol maybe for a side quest or superboss
The only reason BBS didn't have it was because of hardware limitations. Still weird they didn't bring them back on newer games tho.
They do show up very briefly in the limitcut episode but aside from that yeah it's a shame we haven't seen armored TVA more.
They exist, but imo… 1, they should add more variety 2, they’re not quite as well at showing (at least Aqua’s) status as, for example, Monster Hunter armor
GO GO POWER RANGERS!!!
They never did it for me. I just think they look boring and bland. If they never came back it would not bother me at all. But as I read other comments I can see I am one of the very few who thinks this way.
Honestly making me wanna turn these into Kamen Rider outfits which is a good thing
entirely underutilized because the all the people who knew of it were either an enemy or around for one game i have hope that these lost arts will again be prevalent due to theres being three lights with this knowledge also this would be kinda necessary seeing as sora doesnt have the gummyship right now and i doubt donus and gooferd will find him at the beginning of the game
They look far too badass for the characters ngl
I’m love terras one especially! I really hope Sora gets his own keyblade armour in 4
Cool as shit. I just wish that we got more of them.
Personally I hope Sora and Riku get armor as well.
I love them, just wish we got to see them more than the arena, finale and map.
10/10 They're one of my favorite things in the entire series. If TVA were them again in the next couple of games they better have fucking capes
They got their capes back in Re:Mind. So they will have capes next time we see them. I’m excited for that tbh!
The keyblade armors are awesome! I think it would be a really cool moment to see Sora fighting against someone and then he accidentally breaks out his own keyblade armor
I prefer them without capes.
I love them and I want more of them because I like medium to heavy armour like that
I think they are badass af. I want sora to get one .-.
IMO the armors weren't used by the new KB-wielders for a reason, I love the design but I believe sora and the gang wasn't taught to summon them because they're out dated and their "clothes" provide better protection from darkness than the armors can,
They’re so fucking cool. Especially with the capes.
They're a cool idea that should of been used better I can imagine them being used similar to the coat by the keyblade wielders though I wish their designs were more unique between users maybe Kairi will use it in 4 after being taught it by Aqua but imagining Kairi being allowed to do something cool is wishful thinking
It's a neat gimmick for multi-player, but kinda pointless otherwise
I think they’re really cool and very under-utilized in my opinion. I wish we got to see more of them but maybe Nomura kinda got sick of them after BBS.
I think sora should get keyblade armor in the power rangers world
They look cool, I want more of them. Every character should have one.
They are definitely cool. Btw does anyone else think Xion's more "Lesser Nobody-looking" form (during the final boss fights in Days) looks kinda like a keyblade armor?
I'd hope they give Sora, Kairi, and Riku their own armor, but I get the feeling that Nomura is kinda done with them. They don't even have a true function in the gameplay, and I'd be hard pressed to think he'll just come up with one at this stage.
I wish they would have further integration into the series by now. For the most part it's been a BBS and before characters exclusive and I'd hate for it to stop there. I want to see every wielder at least have the opportunity for their own armor.
No pictures of the other armors?
They look cool but seem kind of useless to be honest. Doesn’t seem to really increase the character’s combat capabilities or improve them. Hell, Sora’s clothes in 2 were more useful since they allowed Sora to form change. Kind of wish they were a “form” or armament that TAV could use to get some added attributes (like Terra has permanent super armor and no cool down for attack commands, Ventus’ attacks all become really fast and have added stun, Aqua gets same as Terra but for magic).
I think they should come back. Even as a form that Sora can transform into for a limited time
I love them, always have. Kinda prefer them one color like in the fancy trailer, as opposed to colored like they made them in engine
I miss my khux armor 😭
Kinda wish everyone else had them. I get that the magic clothes and Black Coats are basically the same thing but armors look way cooler.
over designed, overall they don't really fit in. They look cool but they dont look like part of the KH world. I am glad the new clothes and the black robes just serve the same "ward of darkness" function
100% for it. We need more Armors!
Why tf aren’t there more? Eraqus armour and No Heart armour are awesome too, WHY DONT WE HAVE MORE?!
Terra's armor was sick AF and his keyblade becoming a sick hover bike was even cooler still.
Don't forget Xehanort and Eraqus armor as well
See, I get that ‘blah blah blah magic clothes, blah blah blah obsolete, blah blah’ bitch it looks cool It just fucking looks sick, so I want it back Also Nomura draws awesome armour and clearly enjoys it, so I want more
Their pretty cool. Wish that Sora had one. Including Roxas.
I absolutely love the armor concept, and the Sentai transformation activations they do. Leading up to kh3 I was still hoping that sora and riku would get armors too
I think vens needs more green to it to be more in line with his colorong and the other two suits pallets as well but otherwise i see no issues
THEY TRULY COOKED WITH THE KEYBLADE ARMOR 11/10 I LOVE IT
I'd love to see the armor make an appearance in a mainline Kingdom Hearts title. Maybe as a form change/ drive form, or whatever transformation mechanic they have in the next game.
Like imagine starting battle with armor then doing like an armor break ability when you bust out of it and all the pieces of the armor fly off you doing like an AOE stun or knock up. Firaga armor break, blizzard armor break etc.
There's not nearly enough of it. Get my boys Sora and Riku their own Keyblade Armor. Kairi too. Let us use it IN COMBAT as opposed to just being a special event thing. Have that be the replacement for drive forms.
Miss Terra's cape in KH2 :( is it back in LW scene in KH3?
Very underutilized. Shielded them from the darkness. Allowed them Vehicles to traverse the lanes between.
They are legitimately my favorite expanded designs that I wish every character had and still used
We need some for the KH3 characters asap!!
Awesome
Sick and wish the attires continued to trend in this direction tbh
I just want the capes back man
Edna was wrong. They need the capes.
Always thought it was cool, but I still laugh at the fact that some black robes have the same effect.
I still think they’re cool, I loved customizing the colors back on psp
Wee need more
Bro is saying so far as if they just came out
It doesn’t make sense that the art was lost with Eraqus because Ven Aqua and Terra all still have their Pauldron/armlet thingie/arm guard which means they’re still capable of using Keyblade armor (maybe not aqua or Terra because I think they lost their original keyblades so I don’t know if that prevents them from using Keyblade Armor) but ven still has his. So they should be able to teach the art to other wielders, also Yensid was a Keyblade wielder, did he never learn the art? Xehanort still knew how, and what about Master Of Masters or Luxu? Do they not use it?
I like how they would wear these into war. Looking so badass
I love them so much, the armors are so cool, I love Tokusatsu armor so much
They cool
It’s looks so bad ass.
They look dangerous with it it’s cool
I’ll always love the theory of Xion’s final form being Sora’s armor if he had it.
It goes so hard, I love it
They're dumb and unnecessary which is perfect for Kingdom Hearts. Pretty cool
When does sora get one? Lol
Would it be possible to make X-Blade Armor with the 7 Princess of Heart and 13 Darkness.
Could be more key-related. Opening and closing hearts to light or darkness hasn't been expanded on enough, at this rate they could just have regular swords.
with the capes the looks were great its a shame limitations had them cut from the designs save for Lingering Sentiment and that one scene in ReMind
I'll be honest, it felt like a whole different style when I went from KH1, KH2, 3D, and Days to Birth By Sleep. At first, I didn't like how it didn't feel like it belonged in the style of Kingdom Hearts, not to mention the lore implications of what a Keyblade can do, but the more I played, the more I liked them. I still think they're a bit out of place, but I still dig them. Side rant. I still don't like Keyblade armors for the aforementioned implications. Especially after playing KH3, it seems like the term Keyblade has become optional, which I don't like. Now, you get into Babe's Command Styles, namely Bladecharge, it feels like a Keyblade power. The manifestation of the powerful bond between Keyblade and wielder. But seeing what Lingering Will and Sora can do with a Keyblade, it really feels like a soft magic system; which for narrative purposes is well done, but I prefer a Keyblade to stay a Keyblade and show its power through the many other ways they've shown it through the series; from sealing worlds to sealing hearts, to altering the wielder's form to reflect different abilities.
I like the idea, but I wonder where they come from, personal head canon says keyblade are made from the bits of people’s hearts and take on special characteristics like how axels blade was a evolved form of his beyblades. Key blade armor seems to be tied to specific blades being the trios default considering they transform into vehicles with thwm
I think we need more of them
I want to know how they're made
I think they're awesome. I especially like Xehanort's armor and all the Keyblade transformations he uses with it in the No Heart boss fight. Though, I will say that I've never been one to think that *every* Keyblade wielder needs one. I think it's cool that in KH3, the Destiny trio (plus Mickey and Axel) have dripped out, darkness resistant clothes to serve a similar purpose.
I love them and I hope they taught Riku how to use them.
I wish they were drive forms or at the Keyblade war everyone had a keyblade armor.
I'll take any excuse to put Sentai suits anywhere
Lingering 🅱️ill
Sora, Riku and Kairi should have had one of there own set of armor Same with King Mickey , Roxas , Lea and Xion honestly
So much cooler than the hoods. It helps to give a feeling of pain/hurt and distruction. I love to the it falling apart meaning they took a few realy hard, killing hits but the armor took it. If anybody else got hit it feels like „jep a hit.“
They are really sick. I just wise they were used more by main Characters outside of BBS and mobile games you cannot play anymore. Aka My way of saying Give Xion her Armour Back.
Theire Awesome i know the Stylish Clothes are supposed to be a Upgrade of them but i think they should get more significance in the Future again maiby in a Upgraded Form but i personally think (even if it sounds kinda crazy but its KH after all so who knows really) The next Step is Mech Battles especially with the Introduction of the GIGAS
“Wars”
It’s really funny that they only actually rendered Terra’s in Unreal bc lingering will
They are still badass.
Love them c:
the ears are stupid, would have loved the option to keep the armours on the wgole time. even as an unlockable.
I like them, but I do think they could be better, add a bit more variation between the three sets, having Tera’s be heavier and more bulky sort of a paladin vibe, aquas I’m not sure about what could be added maybe a coat or something less armour more fabric, as for Ven’s maybe a more natural look, an undersuit similar to vanitas with different colour and design with armour on one arm, If I was better at art id have a crack at designing them but anyway sorry for long rant.
Not enough zippers, belts, and chains
Great Idea, I'd give half of the terrible KH3 mechanics for an upgradable keyblade armor
Bionicle
I understand that Yensids magic imbued clothes are superior, but I still felt like it was a waste of opportunity that Sora and Riku didn't get armor for the final battle against Xehanort.
Honestly......I don't like em. I never did even as a kid. I thought they were ugly AF back then and still do till this very day. Don't get me wrong, the concept and the flying boards r cool to me but the designs themselves r terrible. (Then again I'm not a fan of mecca and I'm no longer a power rangers fan so......)
> Then again I'm not a fan of mecca What, you don't want to face east and pray to god every day?
I don't wanna face transformers robots in disguise
r/whoosh
An unnecessary add on but they made it fit for how they traveled between worlds. I hope no one else gets armor to be honest
They're awesome. I wish sora, riku and kairi had their own armors
It’s a crime we haven’t got any new ones especially for sora riku and kairi
Love them but I don't love that they didn't get fucking hoodies.
I just thought of something I bet nobody has imagined yet: Namines key blade armor (if she retained Kairi's newfound ability to wield a key blade) it would be a white, yellow, or platinum color armor, full of elegance
They’re way cooler without the helmet imo, should be the base design, idc if it’s not practical
They're kind of pointless now, so i dont think they will come back outside of the BBS trio and past characters. They only protect you from darkness, which the org coats and the gangs' magic clothes already do.
Underutilized. Would have been cool if the other users had access. Especially the we fucking play as for most of 3.
Severely underutilized in BBS. No one ever wore it for some reason... especially in the big, climactic battles. I'm still shocked they didn't have the armor activate as your drive form, or whatever BBS had.
That they're **DOPE AS FUCK**
Should be used more
I like it. I'm a big fan of how they look in Dark Road
I want it back. Sora and Riku etc need to have it
They are so cool and I NEED MORE
Bootleg power ranger
The coolest thing I have ever seen in KH!!!
The theory that Xions final form in 358/2 Is Soras keyblade armor has some merit
Loved the armors since they were first revealed, especially Ven;s.
"So far" They aint coming back.
I'm a sucker for Power Armors/Mecha-adjacent stuff so yes, I love them a lot. As long as they keep it exclusive to the Wayfinder trio in the mainline games, the better. Giving the Destiny and Seasalt (I know Xion has hers) trio armors just loses their unique aesthetic and oversaturate it. Also, give them an upgrade other than just the gliders, like a pilotable mech. (Or heck, go full Tokusatsu with the weapons like what they did to Lingering Will!)
Great as lingering will though i think i'd be ok if the Art of Keyblade armor stayed with the wayfinders. They are great for an epic battle but if everyone got armor it would feel rather generic, especially since many of them look similar with different colors.
Vanitas's is the best by far. For one thing, he actually uses his in combat.
Vanitas wears a darkness body suit like Dark Riku.
Which is also armor, next question.
It’s not an armor, it’s a bodysuit 🙂
Armor is any clothing designed to protect the wearer, not any clothing made of metal. Riku and Vanitas's suits are armor.
It’s probably not making a comeback. KH has this thing where the grand plot works, but this little elements are specific to each game. No reason to go back to go back to End of The World, no reason to have more Data worlds, no reason to have more Keyblade Armor
KHUx and Dark Road have Keyblade Armor, Master Xehanort had new Armor in KH3
I’d say with capes and some extra shine they look pretty nice
I'm very disappointed that Keyblade Armor was dropped it really fit the vibe of people using magical swords shaped like keys.
Sucks. Should have been one keyblade master. Chosen one.
Wished they kept them.
I just wanna make sure I'm not the only one. Terra, Aqua, and Ventus all used armor. With that said, why does Sora and Riku go through most of the series without armor at all. They fought so many strong villains without any armor, just casual street wear. I'm just so confused
It's cool kinda wish it was explained more
They look really cool
Need some for SRK
Still confused why Sora (or Mickey and Riku for that matter) doesn’t have one. It’s obviously not something only masters can do. Feels like the idea was scrapped for some reason. Did any of the Wayfinder Trio even use them in 3? Also still disappointed we didn’t get to see Eraqus’s. Was hoping it’d be some dope samurai set.
